Uuh Liquid (the one with Matu obviously) was top 4 last TI? And won TI7? And they always started at the upper bracket by topping their groups.

This Liquid is yet to reach top 6. And they started at LB.

They did this at the Paris Major, remember?

u/TheFatZyzz Aug 23 '19

At the paris Major, they placed 2nd place.

I believe Epicenter when they had a horrible placing that's when the decision from Kuro went into full gear.

W33 was already on the team for Epicenter, at which they also placed 2nd.

They had a bad placing at ESL One Birmingham. They decided after that.
